Roadkill as Fashion

Disclaimer: We get the Cabela's catalog on a regular basis and, while I'm not a hunter, a fisherman, or even terribly outdoorsy at this point in my life, we have bought quite a bit of outdoor clothing from them. I like to stay warm while using the snowblower and, more than one of Emma's winter coats has come from there. Their gift card has provided us with a default, no thought required holiday gift for Dad for many years. They ship fast and the service is great. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, hopefully Cabela's won't send me a cease and desist letter.

While perusing the latest issue of the Cabela's catalog, I happened across what I think may be the hot new look of the fall. Forget Ugh boots and Crocs. Anyone who is anyone will be wearing a Bridger Mountain Man Coyote Fur Hat. Oh sure, it'll appear on the Paris runways first and maybe it'll seem just a little risque for the average person but give it time. By January, you'll see that really hip guy in the office wearing one. Soon they're be everywhere. Babies, bridal parties, your boss at your next annual review. Then you'll have to have one. Alas, in two years, it will be in a box in the attic next to your bell bottoms, Ugh boots, Crocs, friendship bracelets, and flannel shirts. But isn't that the way with all great fashion trends? Just remember, you heard it here first.
